"Your mother's drug addiction is only temporarily suppressed, and it will definitely happen again in the future, and it will be more violent each time"

Chewing on rice crackers, Li Heng said calmly.

"That's the terrible thing about banned drugs, chemicals cause neuro-organic changes that can't be fought by human will, so there's no possibility of eradicating addiction."

Of course, Li Heng didn't say anything else, and that was himself.

A human being of an evolutionary level like him can already rely on his own spiritual will to change his physiological characteristics to a certain extent and affect the internal chemical environment, which is basically equivalent to being invulnerable.

Forbidden drugs can no longer make Li Heng addicted.

Of course, it seems that the kind of thing that is hidden in the earth is too special.

Sanji lowered his head a little gloomily and sighed, he also knew that drug addiction was too difficult to get rid of, and it was definitely not the demon in front of him...... Oh no! God-man, two taps can be cured.

"Let's go"

After nibbling on the rice crackers, Li Heng turned around and walked towards Sanji's village.

The small village called Dongba, where his family is located, is already a relatively peaceful and stable village in the area.

Compared to some villages further afield, closer to the delta, at least most of the villagers here still make a living from farming, and grow normal crops such as tropical rice, abaca, chestnuts, etc., not to the point of planting opium poppies in full force.

But having said that, along the way, Li Heng did not see any gratifying pictures.

Small, thin, and thin underage children run around naked on the dirt roads of the village, moving back and forth like two hanging ribs.

When he passed Li Heng, he suddenly stood still, gnawing at his nails with his yellowed and rotten teeth, and stared at him.

Li Heng knew that his gaze fell on the two rice crackers left in the bowl in his hand.

Reaching out and passing the bowl over, the thin child was stunned for a moment, then reached over with the hand that had just gnawed his nails, but stopped halfway through.

I saw him suddenly turn around and run away, into a haystack, and after a while he came out again, and ran back with a.

Stretching out his hand to Li Heng again, he handed over a piece of mud.

To be precise, it is an ugly mud elephant, and even the nose is crooked.

"Oh, I remember, there was a juggling troupe passing by here last week, and he should have pinched the elephant, because they were missing an ear, haha~"

Sanji looked at him and said with a smile.

Although there are many elephants in Southeast Asia, and there are wild elephants, they are not seen everywhere, at least in such remote places, and you can only wait for those juggling circuses to pass by.

This kind of opportunity is still quite rare, after all, except for the down-and-out team who can't get along in the city, who will come to tour in this kind of place.

After taking the muddy elephant, the child grabbed the rice cracker with his dirty sore hands and ran away, nibbling twice and turning back to him and smiling.

Li Heng always had a flat face, and he didn't see joy or sorrow.

It wasn't until the kid ran away again that he said lightly: "He may not live this year, if he doesn't get regular treatment."

Sanji's smirk was stunned, and he tilted his head to look at Li Heng.

"As far as I could see, he had at least three infections and symptoms of a tropical parasitic disease, as well as some childhood diseases, and the sores on his body were a sign of the worsening of his disease."

But this is also normal, the child mortality rate itself is as high as more than 30%, and this is still official data, and the proportion is even higher when you add the proportion of concealment and lack of statistics in remote areas.

As for the medical resources here, it is not nothing, it can even be said that it is quite abundant, and it is not lagging behind, and some are even quite advanced and can be in line with international standards.

Not far from here, Princess Beach is home to many businesses, companies and estates where modern hospitals are built.

The main customers of these hospitals are the operators and managers of major companies there, as well as family members of local large families, and such medical resources will certainly not be bad.

It's just that for the villagers here, this kind of resource is almost the same as if it is not.

They don't even have the qualifications to register.

If you want to treat a child like that, in fact, the medical resources and costs required are not high, and the specific antibiotics for several infectious diseases, parasite cleaning agents, plus some conditioning drugs, can basically be cured with nutritional protein for two weeks.

In China, at most, tens of thousands of dollars can save a child's life.

But here, this expense can definitely wipe out an ordinary household here, and it is completely impossible to live.

So what's the most cost-effective way for a couple of villagers here?

Of course, a few more children will be born, and the cost of curing a child will be enough for them to have four or five more!

There must be someone who can carry it and survive.

So the fate of that kid just now was actually doomed a long time ago, if nothing had changed in this reality.

Retracting his gaze, Li Heng didn't pay any more attention.

Because of similar situations, there is no end here.

Coming to Sanchi's home again, this is a typical Southeast Asian dry stilt house, divided into two floors, the upper floor is isolated from moisture for human life, and the lower floor is raised with some livestock or piled up some sundries.

Not long after entering the bamboo gate, a thin woman with an old face and wrinkled eyes walked out, with a yellowed headscarf wrapped around her head, and the clothes on her body were not at all the bright and beautiful national costumes in the short videos promoting Southeast Asian style that Li Heng saw when he was in China, it was a rather old and gray-colored wide robe tied with a horse rope.

She stepped forward with some respect and fear on her face.

"Thank you so much for coming back, sir"

The middle-aged woman with half-white hair was so humble and weak that she thanked Li Heng.

If it hadn't been for Li Heng's timely arrival to suppress her drug addiction, I'm afraid she would have been so mad in pain that she would have hit the wall and died.

Li Heng only nodded lightly and didn't say much.

Originally, he hated addicts very much, and in his opinion, people who took banned drugs were hopeless and did not deserve sympathy.

But there is a reason for everything, and Sanchi tells him that his mother's drug addiction was contracted three years ago.

At that time, his father was working as a laborer in a company called "Jasco" on Princess Beach, and he was introduced to him by a recruit arranged by the Iron Trade Union.

Later, there was an employment accident, and the spine and thighs were all shattered, and he was severely paralyzed and bedridden ever since.

Jasco, along with the Iron Union, concealed the cause of the accident and refused any compensation and medical treatment on the grounds that his father's poor skill in his work led to the accident.

He even planned to sue Sanji's father in turn, but his misoperation affected the normal production process of the company and caused huge losses, so he had to make a claim!

Later, after learning about Sanchi's family's financial situation, the iron union of "Daren Dade" negotiated with Jasco to abandon the claim.

And repeatedly told Sanchi's family: "If it weren't for President Darcy's kindness and kindness, seeing that you are also a member of the union, you wouldn't have bothered to talk to Jasco, and if you know that it is good, you should be grateful to President Darcy!" Otherwise, even if you take your broken grass house and that rotten paddy field, you won't be able to compensate for the losses of other large companies! ”

So under the "mercy" of the president, Sanchi's family finally kept the only family business, so that his paralyzed father would not have to live in the wilderness.

But the paralyzed father struggled with intense pain every day, and life was worse than death, with no real means of treatment or determination to free him.

Until someone sent him a "miracle medicine" that "relieved".

In fact, everyone knows what that thing is, and there are no people who live in such places who are not aware of it, and there is no one who does not know the harm in it.

But what can they do, under the endless pain of dying despair, but the slightest relief and pleasure can make them happy and forget this painful world for a short time.

As a result, Sanchi's father immersed himself in the forbidden drugs in the last days of his life, surviving the last suffering of the rest of his life.

After being paralyzed for more than a month, his father eventually died of his injuries because he did not receive perfect treatment.

Death may have been a mercy and relief for him in a way.

But for the living, this pain is even more deeply rooted in the world.

Sanchi's mother, who lost her husband, not only had no support, but she faced all the heavy burdens and sufferings alone, and also fell into great mental anguish.

Closing her eyes was the body of her husband who had festered maggots before his death and the hoarse and painful wails, and under the envelope of endless insomnia and nightmares, she finally chose to numb herself with the forbidden drugs that her husband had not yet taken before his death.

And, from then on, it was out of control.

Suffering will only create more suffering, and it is not a practice, nor is it a good medicine.

For this kind of person who walks into the dark quagmire, Li Heng cannot look at it with pure malice and disdain.

But there is not much to say about sympathy, because if you look at it only in terms of sympathy, then he will not be busy.

There are so many things in this world that he can't even look at, and sympathy can't save them.

"If the Iron Guild is such an organization, why did you join it?"

Li Heng sat on a special wooden bamboo bench and asked Sanji.

"But it's even worse if you don't join."

Sanji replied as a matter of course.

Li Heng nodded, he already understood the truth.

Just as people in famine will gnaw on the bark of a tree, is the bark delicious?

There is no other way.

Li Heng's eyelids drooped slightly, and he didn't know what he was thinking, and it took a long time for him to speak again.

"Let's get down to business first, do you know that the members of the Iron Guild who have been members of the Iron Union for so long have a logistics line called GN-WD?"

This was a clue he got from the owner of the bar, and it was through this logistics line that the man suspected of Ma Hongtu had delivered the goods to the bar.

"Forehead ......"

Sanji was stunned for a moment and opened his mouth, he was about to say something but held back again.

If he followed his usual style and thinking, he would definitely be stunned, shake his head, and then blurt out "I don't know".

Because he has always been so unthinking, he basically doesn't want to think deeply about things that have not been answered in his shallow consciousness.

After all, answering "I don't know" is the easiest and most effort-saving.

But today he did not answer in this way, for some reason, in the presence of this god-like Gentile who aweed him, he did not want to make the other man feel that he was a stupid wood.

It was also the first time in his life that he wanted to prove himself in front of others!

Scratching my head and overcoming the itching that kept rising in my skull, it was as if I was about to grow a new brain.

"I ...... I'm going to have to look for ......."

Grabbing his scalp, Sanji ran into his room and began to rummage through the cabinets, and soon he pulled out a large pile of scraps of paper or scattered notepads.

There was his own, and there was his deceased father's.

"My dad used to be in the Iron Union, maybe he wrote down the clues"

After speaking, he rummaged through the dust, more serious than ever, just to prove that he was useful in front of Li Heng.

Seeing him like this, Li Heng didn't bother him, but he didn't participate in helping him, so he let him think about it and find it by himself.

And he's not in a hurry, it's just a clue.

Again, he has a lot of choices, and the big deal is the same as last night, go directly to the Iron Union to have a friendly exchange with the chairman of Darcy.

It's just that if you do that, the commotion will definitely be much bigger than last night in Marta Town.

Last night, it was just a "small boss", there were only a dozen people under his hands, and the size of the plate was the same storefront.

But this iron union is completely different, the old organization born after the independence of Southeast Asia, decades of history of three generations of business, close to tens of thousands of members, and the entire princess beach more than 20 enterprises and family forces have an intertwined relationship, the network spans Siam, Laos and Shan Biao.

It is conceivable that if one day it is discovered that the president of the Iron Union has disappeared out of thin air, how big waves will be generated along the long Jinliusha River, even if it is "overturned" one or two "big ships".

If he really wants to do this, Li Heng may have to use his brain a little bit to think about how to make his actions more appropriate and safe.

And soon, Li Heng also heard the voice from Sanji.

"Found it! Sir, I found it! ”

"Let's see if it's this ......"

Walked over with a notebook and pen and paper, on which were some notes written in a pen.

"My dad used to work as a warehouse caretaker and a porter for incoming and outgoing goods in the union for a while, and because he was literate, he was called to work as a warehouse recorder for a while, and these are some of the backup books he left at that time."

Li Heng nodded, fortunately, Sanji's father still knew some words, and also taught him to recognize words.

After looking at the content in this, Li Heng knew that it should be able to match.

The so-called logistics line is actually which trucks run which routes at what time, what goods are transported, and what warehouse management they belong to...... And so on a series of records, any place with sound logistics management will have this kind of record.

As a workers' association, the Iron Trade Union has an exclusive independent logistics and transportation system, which is responsible for the transportation of some materials in this vast area.

You must know that on the highway in this kind of place, ordinary people don't dare to run around without a bodyguard escort!

They were able to walk the mountains and territories of various forces unimpeded, and this was the result of the Iron Union, or the Darcy family, which had been running for generations.

Looking at the backup records of these warehouses, as well as the model and code of the individual transport trucks, it is a so-called logistics line.

"GN means should be coded as a fleet sequence starting with GN, WD is separated, it is Windsor Highway and Daoting Warehouse, and there is indeed a special line freight fleet on this combination!"

With the mood of exploration and discovery, Sanji found the corresponding logistics line according to the law.

And then ...... Right! Looking at the transaction table of my previous duty row, there should be a related team in and out of the warehouse, so that the approximate running time of this fleet on the line can be reversed! ”

Enjoying the pleasure of using his brain, Sanji couldn't stop at this moment.

Seeing him working so hard for himself, Li Heng couldn't help but chuckle and said: "As a member of the Iron Trade Union, if you do this, it is tantamount to betrayal, are you not afraid of liquidating them afterwards?" ”

"Betrayal? Liquidation? ”

Sanji was stunned for a moment, as if he hadn't thought about it at all.

Seeing that he was stunned, Li Heng patted him on the shoulder and said: "It's just a joke, if this kind of organization can talk about betrayal, then there is really no morality in this world."

"You can rest assured to do things for me, and I will take care of all the consequences"

Li Heng was calm and calm, and his words were like the sea god needle, which stabilized Sanji's mind.

Sanji nodded, having seen the man's demonic power, he knew what to do.

However, this being with the power of ghosts and gods behaves more like a human than the Iron Guild and the guys of the big corporations.

Soon, he found the relevant clues.

"According to the latest records, the union's deliveries and incoming goods are very regular, and they will ship about once in two days, and they will pass by...... The road through the mountain will pass through the mountain of Mt. Chapan, which is about fifteen or sixteen kilometers in that direction! ”

He stood up and pointed in the direction of the outer door, where there was a lush tropical forest.

Li Heng also walked over, his eyes deep and distant staring directly at the deep valley, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

"Then start here and see how deep and thick this net really is"

"And my fire, can it burn to its source?"
